We are proud to announce our Public Auction #13, to be held August 20-22nd 2013 at our premises at 62 Sparks Street, Ottawa, Canada.
The sale can be seen now on Stamp Auction Network.
The impact of substantial lifetime collections on this auction sale has been profound.
Two collections were consigned after the premature passing of their owners. One, from western Canada, came in more than 100 cartons, and a second includes the Hamlet collection. Three other consignments highlight an area of special collecting interest and honour their consignors with a named collection. The Hillside collection of Canadian Admirals, the Moseley collection of Great Britain Penny Reds, and the Hamlet collection of British Commonwealth all offer an opportunity to buy scarce items, many not seen in the philatelic marketplace for decades. And the same opportunity to acquire scarce stamps is found throughout the sale.
We start a Canada section with consistent strength from the pence to the modern era. Quality stamps used and mint with covers, multiples, proofs, errors and other varieties are found in every period.
The 338 lots of British Commonwealth as well as the Worldwide, which has strong USA from several consignors, should prove tempting. Our Postal History features many mini-collections and interesting postmark lots. The literature section has many diverse and scarce books.
Although 488 Lots and Collections have some of the inevitable remainder lots, in this auction we offer a high percentage of very nice quality collections. Please be careful that shipping is allowed on the item you are bidding on if you are not in the Ottawa area.
Print catalogues will be shipped next week to subscribers. PDF files are already here on our site, along with bidding instructions, featured items, and corrections.
